@@p34piper I love Laff Trakk! I do wish that some of the props moved but other than that it’s a great ride that I will always ride when I go to Hersheypark!

@@p34piper a raptor would be neat :)

@@BadGVideoGames I tried to say Marine Mammals instead of Marine Mammals as much as I could in the video, but if I said that I apologize. That being said, Seaworld and Epcot are some of the worst examples you could’ve given. Seaworld is not doing great right now at all, and a lot of the crowd they DO have are there BECAUSE of their phasing out of Marine Mammals in the park and focus on coasters. And I assure you that removing the dolphins from the SEAS pavilion would not affect attendance of EPCOT, and even if it did there have been multiple petitions trying to remove the dolphins and Disney has even responded to the feedback.

@@jay-dubb.dubb.68 Best Ride in the Park🔥🔥🔥

@@jay-dubb.dubb.68 Me too :)

@@_Toralu_ I would be up to that. The only issue I would see is the local government not counting a park as entertainment since that’s what they’ve said they want it to be used for, but honestly it should be used for a provincial park

@@suprex11-cr2wr A surf coaster is a good idea for most parks considering only one exists! I have heard that B&M might not be able to make more of them due to Vekoma’s lawsuit, but that may be misinformation

@@Shizaya4ever I don’t hate Invertigo but I do wish it wasn’t the front gate coaster. If there was an easy way to move it I would like that

@@TheJaredExpress I can understand that but I disagree. I like it being the first thing I see walking up to the gate

@@kev492001 Do you have any images of the new survey or know where I can find it? I’d definitely like to take a look. I’m glad you liked the video, I hope I can continue to make content people enjoy :)

@@TheJaredExpress Yeah, I took some pictures of it on my cell phone of my computer screen, should have taken a screen shot but didn't think about it till later, the survey was on August 21st. Do you have an Instagram account to see the pictures or another way? You can sign up for surveys and newsletters on the park's website, if you're a passholder I think they will send you a survey. The surveys only are up for a few days, 2 or 3 at the most so you have to be checking your emails almost daily to not miss a chance to take part in it. Hope so as well.

@@kev492001 Yeah, I have an Instagram, it’s the same name as my TH-cam :)

I believe KI is 2026 for a couple reasons. 1) KI seems to be following the Canada's Wonderland pattern of recent which is: kiddie coaster, waterpark addition, and large coaster. 2) 2026 being Vortex's replacement would line up with recent coaster additions that replaced a last minute removal (ie Stinger closed in 2017 + 7 years = Iron Menace 2024 and Volcano closed in 2018 + 7 years = Rapterra 2025.) See the pattern? Also in the KI A Ride Through Time Novel, Mike Koontz said he wanted to focus on Snoopy and Soak City before touching the Vortex area which 2024 was Snoopy and 2025 is Soak City so that only means one thing unless something changes last minute: Vortex 2026. Also I got the Soak City survey a couple weeks ago as well even though I don't go to Soak City, but I still filled it out and I made multiple requests for an adult only area with a swim up bar.

@@bigblueamusementproductions It has a big chance of happening yeah, but nothing is set in stone yet, till it’s announced. Mike Koontz said that but then they announced the Adventure Port addition which wasn’t planned and was a last minute decision, they could go back to Soak City in 2026, since they gave a 2 or 3 year timeframe, we’ll see what happens. I asked them to add a RallyRACER slide to the water park like what Hersheypark’s water park has, that would be a great addition.

RMC blah!

We can hope

@@dino_boy_4259 That’s kinda what Son of Beast was, but I get what you mean. It would definitely be interesting, I would love to see what they would do, but in my opinion Kings Island is already pretty set in terms of wooden coasters, unless they removed one or made one a hybrid

I think that they may focus on the legacy Six Flags parks for a little to get them up to the same standard as the legacy Cedarfair ones, but I don’t think in any way that they will be neglected, and eventually they will get back to focusing on parks from both chains

We’ll see. It mainly comes down to three things: 1. How well Kings Island takes care of the ride 2. If RMC is still focusing on conversions in 10 years 3. If Six Flags decides they want to work with RMC despite Cedarfair’s refusal to

Haha I appreciate that you think that! :)

@@TheJaredExpress thanks!

@@heathconely3573 I’ve definitely heard the rumors. That’d be neat, it really depends on if Six Flags decides to work with RMC again. If they were to make one in Action Zone, then it’d either have to be half in between Banshee and Bat and half taking up Timberwolf or it would have to be a front gate coaster.

​@@TheJaredExpressI noticed they are taking down the wall for timberwolf so I think it's gonna get removed to make way for room for coaster activity🎉🎉

That’s definitely been a common topic that a lot of people have talked about, and at the very least I am more in favor of that than RMC’ing the original Beast

@@bunnygrill cool to hear you got to experience it! :)

@@TheJaredExpress Phantom Theater was a favorite of mine too. It was such a big deal when it opened. It was sad seeing Paramount let the animatronics break down and never get repaired.

@@Suntan330 I agree that Action Zone definitely needs some TLC

@@Suntan330 KI has the ability to build 2 massive coasters with its layout and some finagling. Yes, I 100% agree with an entrance coaster in the plot of land with Invertigo, the amphitheater, Congo Falls, and you could include a massive land plot that tears all of those down and build a massive whatever…RMC, Gerstlaurer Infinity coaster. You have so many choices and that is what makes us all get giddy and start talking about what they can do. However, it’s about what they “will do, as opposed to what they can do.”

Honestly, I'm just sick and tired of Canada's Wonderland getting so much attention. KI is like the redheaded step child. Even Carowinds( which I know their headquarters is close by) gets alot of money thrown at it.

@@MushroomHedgehog I definitely want a Wing Coaster too, the main reason I didn’t put it on the list is because Kings Dominion’s getting one next year. It could definitely happen, but I’m not sure it’ll be the next coaster, they may wait a few years after whatever we get in 2026

I personally wouldn’t want to see a wing coaster at KI. Cedar Point already has Gatekeeper and Holiday World has the best wing coaster IMO with Thunderbird. You’re right, whatever goes into Vortex’s plot of land has to be photogenic. That’s why I think the Gerstlaurer Infinity coaster works here. Not only can you build a coaster with tight loops and inversions, you can give it the lighting package like Hangtime. Tell me that wouldn’t look absolutely stunning right there at the end of Coney Mall. I mean there are already flat rides in that area along with all the games and stuff, and also Windseeker. All of which are lit up beautifully at night!

Yeah, if Kings Island did get a Wing coaster, it would have to find a way to stick out. Maybe if they were able to alter the wing coaster’s trains to spin similar to X2 then it would stand a chance, but needless to say it would have some competition

@@TheJaredExpress there is less than 3% chance they are building a wing coaster that has features of X2. I mean Eejanaika is that. It’s X2, but better. It’s also one of the highest ranked coasters. I haven’t ridden it, but, I also haven’t ridden X2 lol.

@@TheJaredExpress I’m actually leaning more to the Beast 2.0.

and also, it is replacing extreme sky flyer, and one of the interviews from amusement insiders (go check them out!) the park said that they are expecting it to have the same amount of riders one it per hour that their big 3 coasters have.

Interesting! What makes you think that?

@TheJaredExpress the add. Also I heard someone say that the white was not the official colour

In an interview with the Canadas wonderland marketing supervisor or something she said they took liberties with the announcement ad and that the animation is what we should reference (about the color). It’s not necessarily confirmed I guess but i think it’s just going to be white..

The government specifically said they want the land to be used for entertainment

@@TheJaredExpress What/which government? Whatever the property's designated uses are under the Niagara Zoning By-law, the new owner can make a re-zoning application to change the permitted use(s), and property zone. If there is no solid reason that the application not be granted, then the Niagara Council is obliged to grant the application, or the owner would simply appeal their decision to the Ontario Municipal Board and obtain it anyway. The City of Niagara may prefer to have a subdivision(s) rather than single tourist attraction. Each private property in a subdivision would each pay property taxes, whereas currently only Marineland pays one property tax. Each property in a subdivision will be assessed by the Ontario Municipal Board, and the City of Niagara will tax each property based on an annual tax rate. So, for Niagara, development housing could be a bit of a boon, and help them meet any housing ratios set by the Provincial or Federal Governments, and raise enough taxes to support Niagara infrastructure and services requirements. It doesn't even mean that the 1000 acre property might not have hotels, or other tourism or commercial attractions, or even multi-use dwellings. Considering the loss of Marineland's entertainment value, exhibited by it's financial failure that has been steadily declining it for years, and add the demise of Crystal Beach Park close to nearby Fort Erie in 1989, nothing lasts forever. The Crystal Beach amusement park site is now housing. I have no doubt that Marineland would not likewise be a similar developer investment.

Good to know! :)

#3, jfc we don't need another wooden coaster!

😁🎷🐛

Thanks, I love your music :)

@@McNeilAlarms oh cool! I didn’t know that! I really want to go back, Kings Dominion is such a cool park :) I have a few on my list that I need to go to first but after that I’ll probably return

Glad you liked it :)

Premier Rides is confirmed to be working on that coaster in Canada's Wonderland

Interesting! I guess we’ll have to see tomorrow :)

@@revofreak1993Yeah I admit I didn’t realize that until after I made my video but I still firmly believe that Marineland needs to take advantage of what makes their park special and that would be a way to do it.
